From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tone \Tone\, n. [F. ton, L. tonus a sound, tone, fr. Gr. [?] a
      stretching, straining, raising of the voice, pitch, accent,
      measure or meter, in pl., modes or keys differing in pitch;
      akin to [?] to stretch or strain. See {Thin}, and cf.
      {Monotonous}, {Thunder}, {Ton} fasion,{Tune}.]
      1. Sound, or the character of a sound, or a sound considered
            as of this or that character; as, a low, high, loud,
            grave, acute, sweet, or harsh tone.
  
                     [Harmony divine] smooths her charming tones.
                                                                              --Milton.
  
                     Tones that with seraph hymns might blend. --Keble.
  
      2. (Rhet.) Accent, or inflection or modulation of the voice,
            as adapted to express emotion or passion.
  
                     Eager his tone, and ardent were his eyes. --Dryden.
  
      3. A whining style of speaking; a kind of mournful or
            artificial strain of voice; an affected speaking with a
            measured rhythm ahd a regular rise and fall of the voice;
            as, children often read with a tone.
  
      4. (Mus.)
            (a) A sound considered as to pitch; as, the seven tones of
                  the octave; she has good high tones.
            (b) The larger kind of interval between contiguous sounds
                  in the diatonic scale, the smaller being called a
                  semitone as, a whole tone too flat; raise it a tone.
            (c) The peculiar quality of sound in any voice or
                  instrument; as, a rich tone, a reedy tone.
            (d) A mode or tune or plain chant; as, the Gregorian
                  tones.
  
      Note: The use of the word tone, both for a sound and for the
               interval between two sounds or tones, is confusing, but
               is common -- almost universal.
  
      Note: Nearly every musical sound is composite, consisting of
               several simultaneous tones having different rates of
               vibration according to fixed laws, which depend upon
               the nature of the vibrating body and the mode of
               excitation. The components (of a composite sound) are
               called partial tones; that one having the lowest rate
               of vibration is the fundamental tone, and the other
               partial tones are called harmonics, or overtones. The
               vibration ratios of the partial tones composing any
               sound are expressed by all, or by a part, of the
               numbers in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.; and the
               quality of any sound (the tone color) is due in part to
               the presence or absence of overtones as represented in
               this series, and in part to the greater or less
               intensity of those present as compared with the
               fundamental tone and with one another. Resultant tones,

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tone \Tone\, n. [F. ton, L. tonus a sound, tone, fr. Gr. [?] a
      stretching, straining, raising of the voice, pitch, accent,
      measure or meter, in pl., modes or keys differing in pitch;
      akin to [?] to stretch or strain. See {Thin}, and cf.
      {Monotonous}, {Thunder}, {Ton} fasion,{Tune}.]
      1. Sound, or the character of a sound, or a sound considered
            as of this or that character; as, a low, high, loud,
            grave, acute, sweet, or harsh tone.
  
                     [Harmony divine] smooths her charming tones.
                                                                              --Milton.
  
                     Tones that with seraph hymns might blend. --Keble.
  
      2. (Rhet.) Accent, or inflection or modulation of the voice,
            as adapted to express emotion or passion.
  
                     Eager his tone, and ardent were his eyes. --Dryden.
  
      3. A whining style of speaking; a kind of mournful or
            artificial strain of voice; an affected speaking with a
            measured rhythm ahd a regular rise and fall of the voice;
            as, children often read with a tone.
  
      4. (Mus.)
            (a) A sound considered as to pitch; as, the seven tones of
                  the octave; she has good high tones.
            (b) The larger kind of interval between contiguous sounds
                  in the diatonic scale, the smaller being called a
                  semitone as, a whole tone too flat; raise it a tone.
            (c) The peculiar quality of sound in any voice or
                  instrument; as, a rich tone, a reedy tone.
            (d) A mode or tune or plain chant; as, the Gregorian
                  tones.
  
      Note: The use of the word tone, both for a sound and for the
               interval between two sounds or tones, is confusing, but
               is common -- almost universal.
  
      Note: Nearly every musical sound is composite, consisting of
               several simultaneous tones having different rates of
               vibration according to fixed laws, which depend upon
               the nature of the vibrating body and the mode of
               excitation. The components (of a composite sound) are
               called partial tones; that one having the lowest rate
               of vibration is the fundamental tone, and the other
               partial tones are called harmonics, or overtones. The
               vibration ratios of the partial tones composing any
               sound are expressed by all, or by a part, of the
               numbers in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.; and the
               quality of any sound (the tone color) is due in part to
               the presence or absence of overtones as represented in
               this series, and in part to the greater or less
               intensity of those present as compared with the
               fundamental tone and with one another. Resultant tones,
               combination tones, summation tones, difference tones,
               Tartini's tones (terms only in part synonymous) are
               produced by the simultaneous sounding of two or more
               primary (simple or composite) tones.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   thin client
  
      A simple {client} program or hardware device
      which relies on most of the function of the system being in
      the {server}.
  
      {Gopher} clients, for example, are very thin; they are
      {stateless} and are not required to know how to interpret and
      display objects much more complex than menus and plain text.
      Gopher servers, on the other hand, can search {databases} and
      provide {gateways} to other services.
  
      By the mid-1990s, the model of decentralised computing where
      each user has his own full-featured and independent
      {microcomputer}, seemed to have displaced a centralised model
      in which multiple users use thin clients (e.g. {dumb
      terminals}) to work on a shared {minicomputer} or {mainframe}
      server.   Networked {personal computers} typically operate as
      "fat clients", often providing everything except some file
      storage and printing locally.
  
      By 1996, reintroduction of thin clients is being proposed,
      especially for {LAN}-type environments (see the {cycle of
      reincarnation}).   The main expected benefit of this is ease of
      maintenance: with fat clients, especially those suffering from
      the poor networking support of {Microsoft} {operating
      systems}, installing a new application for everyone is likely
      to mean having to physically go to every user's workstation to
      install the application, or having to modify client-side
      configuration options; whereas with thin clients the
      maintenance tasks are centralised on the server and so need
      only be done once.
  
      Also, by virtue of their simplicity, thin clients generally
      have fewer hardware demands, and are less open to being
      screwed up by ambitious {lusers}.
  
      Never one to miss a bandwagon, Microsoft bought up {Insignia
      Solutions, Inc.}'s "{NTRIGUE}" Windows remote-access product
      and combined it with {Windows NT} version 4 to allow thin
      clients (either hardware or software) to communicate with
      applications running under on a server machine under {Windows
      Terminal Server} in the same way as {X} had done for {Unix}
      decades before.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   time slice
  
      (Or "time quantum", "quantum") The period
      of time for which a process is allowed to run uninterrupted in
      a {pre-emptive multitasking} {operating system}.
  
      The {scheduler} is run once every time slice to choose the
      next process to run.   If the time slice is too short then the
      scheduler will consume too much processing time but if it is
      too long then processes may not be able to respond to external
      events quickly enough.

   Tiny Clos
  
      A core part of {Common Lisp Object System} (CLOS) ported to
      {Scheme} and rebuilt using a MOP ({Metaobject Protocol}).
      This should be interesting to those who want to use MOPs
      without using a full {Common Lisp} or {Dylan}.
  
      The first release works with {MIT Scheme} 11.74.
